GIS-material for the archaeological project: Settlement remains by the burial ground in Sund

The information in the abstract is translated from the archaeological report: Due to construction of an electric main system within the properties Sund 1:3 and 4:16, Fivelstad parish, Motala municipality, the Swedish National Heritage Board's contract archaeology division, UV Öst, performed a preliminary investigation/an antiquarian inspection along the cable trench. Approx. 30 m from the trench is a burial ground, RAÄ 7.

No new graves were found around the burial ground, but c. 100 m to the north-west two hearths and a post hole were discovered, probably being part of a settlement. The hearths were of typical early Iron Age character and thus fit into the burial ground context. The remains probably extend in a north-south direction, and UV Öst considers it safe for the cable to be laid as planned, except for in the area where the remains were found.
